    Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab39308 in the following tested applications.

    The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    Application Notes
    Functional Studies FuncS: Use at an assay dependent dilution. PubMed: 20422465Attenuation of the voltage-induced contraction of mouse primary cardiomyocytes.
    SDS-PAGE SDS-PAGE: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
    WB WB: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Predicted molecular weight: 92 kDa. Use at an assay dependent dilution. Predicted molecular weight: 92 kDa. Dilution optimised using Chromogenic detection. This enzyme is supplied predominantly as a zymogen, with a small amount of processed (cleaved) enzyme present. The zymogen can be activated by incubation at 37 degree Celsius for 2 to 6 hours with the organomercurial compound APMA at 1 mM. The enzyme degrades denatured collagen (gelatin), and a range of extracellular matrix components in vivo.
  • Application notesThis peptide can be used with studies using ab137651.

  • FunctionMay play an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. Could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption. Cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-
    -Leu bond. Cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one quarter fragments. Degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide.
  • Tissue specificityProduced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.
  • Involvement in diseaseIntervertebral disc disease (IDD) [MIM:603932]: A common musculo-skeletal disorder caused by degeneration of intervertebral disks of the lumbar spine. It results in low-back pain and unilateral leg pain. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
    Metaphyseal anadysplasia 2 (MANDP2) [MIM:613073]: A bone development disorder characterized by skeletal anomalies that resolve spontaneously with age. Clinical characteristics are evident from the first months of life and include slight shortness of stature and a mild varus deformity of the legs. Patients attain a normal stature in adolescence and show improvement or complete resolution of varus deformity of the legs and rhizomelic micromelia. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the peptidase M10A family.
    Contains 3 fibronectin type-II domains.
    Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains.
  • DomainThe conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Processing of the precursor yields different active forms of 64, 67 and 82 kDa. Sequentially processing by MMP3 yields the 82 kDa matrix metalloproteinase-9.
    N- and O-glycosylated.

    Thank you for contacting Abcam.

    The ab39308 protein is largely in the zymogen form. The enzyme does not need to be activated before running on an SDS PAGE substrate gel (gelatin zymogram), as the SDS acts to activate some of the MMP-9.
